Depression Poems
#depression
Depression takes a person beyond feelings of sadness, to a very dark and lonely place. Poetry about depression offers the reader a glimpse into this darkness and isolation. Depression is a serious mental disorder. A creative outlet, like writing poetry, can offer relief to some sufferers.

Bad Day
Dark memories march through
the valley of my mind.
Sending sinister signals of pain
across my battle weary body.
Today I am hurting.
Not because of the abuse
inflicted, but for what I
have become.
The stench of a rotting soul
is in my nostrils.
A chameleon caught in a rainbow,
no longer knowing my true color.
A broken mirror
reflecting emotions I receive.
All the while, I know not
what I believe.
Closing my eyes
to savor the sweet, sweet darkness.
Longing for the courage, ...
the valley of my mind.
Sending sinister signals of pain
across my battle weary body.
Today I am hurting.
Not because of the abuse
inflicted, but for what I
have become.
The stench of a rotting soul
is in my nostrils.
A chameleon caught in a rainbow,
no longer knowing my true color.
A broken mirror
reflecting emotions I receive.
All the while, I know not
what I believe.
Closing my eyes
to savor the sweet, sweet darkness.
Longing for the courage, ...

Untitled
There is dust in my eyes—
I was blinded by the rain.
I had fallen in the meadow…
Another sunrise, and another sunset.
They are all the same through this veil.
The wind is perfumed by fresh decay;
Nobody sees the majesty anymore.
Teardrops and dew on the dandelion;
Seeds to the sky find the ground.
There is a candle beneath us,
But the angels have lost the light.
I step inside, the wind is broken:
Another sky that looks so pale.
I see snowflakes among rays
Of a star that chills the leaves.
I will...
I was blinded by the rain.
I had fallen in the meadow…
Another sunrise, and another sunset.
They are all the same through this veil.
The wind is perfumed by fresh decay;
Nobody sees the majesty anymore.
Teardrops and dew on the dandelion;
Seeds to the sky find the ground.
There is a candle beneath us,
But the angels have lost the light.
I step inside, the wind is broken:
Another sky that looks so pale.
I see snowflakes among rays
Of a star that chills the leaves.
I will...

The Write Stuff
A void where I once had a face
Long vanishing without a trace
Now gone with the slightest wind
A god telling me that I have sinned
I am loath to stir his wrath
Walk along an unknown path
Chilled and shaking to the bone
Wondering if I am alone
I can't seem to comprehend
How to bring this to an end
Casting it into the flame
Lest I incur an abject shame
Yet I am not inclined to mope
Give up on remotest hope
The struggle to produce a line
Though it will not be the most divine.
Long vanishing without a trace
Now gone with the slightest wind
A god telling me that I have sinned
I am loath to stir his wrath
Walk along an unknown path
Chilled and shaking to the bone
Wondering if I am alone
I can't seem to comprehend
How to bring this to an end
Casting it into the flame
Lest I incur an abject shame
Yet I am not inclined to mope
Give up on remotest hope
The struggle to produce a line
Though it will not be the most divine.

THE STORY TELLER
You take for granted
years of duty and struggle
they will never know
the dragons you had to slay
for them
Moments that are fading
from my day to day
have to play the music
to remind me
My children
were the only treasure
that made any sense
in these days of hate
and shadow
The boy who cried
became a man
who wept
The orphan heart
who never knew
his father
became the man
his children
turned away from
And the pain
becomes ...

Rest in Peace
Rest in Peace
I wish to close my eyes.
Rest for an hour.
Rest til happiness.
Doubts arise, if that can
be found in this life.
On this earth.
Remember the last time,
I was happy?
Does your mind quiet for that?
Because mine is screaming,
"How do you think you can
make it through another night?"
My mind taunts me
Like a school yard bully,
double dog daring me
to end the pain.
I want the thoughts to stop.
At least slow down to a
walking pace. ...

I Am Fear
I am fear.
I come for
My nightly feeding.
I see her sprawled
Out on the bed
Already enmeshed in angst.
She closes her eyes
in an attempt to
Beat me back,
But I know the way in.
I whisper my lies
Which i paint
As promises.
She pleads for peace,
For the fire
In her head
To be put out.
But peace is not
What I came to give.
My purpose here
Has always been clear,
To see her doubt,
To see her unravel,
To see her cry out.
And though her pills
Will drive...
I come for
My nightly feeding.
I see her sprawled
Out on the bed
Already enmeshed in angst.
She closes her eyes
in an attempt to
Beat me back,
But I know the way in.
I whisper my lies
Which i paint
As promises.
She pleads for peace,
For the fire
In her head
To be put out.
But peace is not
What I came to give.
My purpose here
Has always been clear,
To see her doubt,
To see her unravel,
To see her cry out.
And though her pills
Will drive...

Sigh
How much truth can one sigh tell?
Can it speak of a day from hell?
Is it the herald of a broken soul?
Desperate murmurs as the world takes its toll?
Hidden and concealed un-cried tears?
The weight of endless insurmountable fears?
Does it utter of life’s crippling pain?
Does it scream of little left to gain?
Perhaps it whispers of an end?
Surely it begs for the aid of a friend?
Or just the sound of an empty shell?
How much truth can one sigh tell?
Can it speak of a day from hell?
Is it the herald of a broken soul?
Desperate murmurs as the world takes its toll?

Does it utter of life’s crippling pain?
Does it scream of little left to gain?

May I Write
may i write?
because if i don’t express what i feel my mouth will explode with a cry
may i write
because i have a feeling so strong that it might choke me from inside
may i write
as i hold the tears in my eyes
may i write
to feel liberated of the pain that is clutching my heart
may i write
to put in to paper what i no longer want in my mind
may i write
to accept an apology that will never be heard out loud
may i write
as i put my head around what just happened today
may i write
as i write you into paper...

Hanging On
His mind is a fragile thing
Shattered when phantasms sing
Peace left in the distant past
And stability is fading fast
The dark is there to suffocate
Stifle as the hour grows late
Dismal as the coming dawn
But, somehow, he's hanging on.
Shattered when phantasms sing
Peace left in the distant past
And stability is fading fast
The dark is there to suffocate
Stifle as the hour grows late
Dismal as the coming dawn
But, somehow, he's hanging on.

GREYHOUND DELIVERY
30 was too optimistic
Let's shoot for 23
Erase thy soul of dark temptation
Negate the memories
Disrupt the family, the way it runs
To bring eternal bliss
Excited for an immediate departure
There's nothing that you'll miss
The eyes that shine with bleeding rain
Will gloss over once more
The happiness they longed to find
They're finally heading for
Deep breath in, chin up, smile big
It wont be much longer now, sweet child
Don't run, its okay to be afraid
But it only hurts for a short while
Let's shoot for 23
Erase thy soul of dark temptation
Negate the memories
Disrupt the family, the way it runs
To bring eternal bliss
Excited for an immediate departure
There's nothing that you'll miss
The eyes that shine with bleeding rain
Will gloss over once more
The happiness they longed to find
They're finally heading for
Deep breath in, chin up, smile big
It wont be much longer now, sweet child
Don't run, its okay to be afraid
But it only hurts for a short while

Try
Whats the point of trying
When all it brings are tears
Useless rains of crying
Pouring all these years
Wasted efforts same results
Nothing seems to change
Dark enigmatic troubled thoughts
Depression convincingly arrange
To go on pretending
With each and every breath
Hopeless charade never ending
Escaping only by your death
When all it brings are tears
Useless rains of crying
Pouring all these years
Wasted efforts same results
Nothing seems to change
Dark enigmatic troubled thoughts
Depression convincingly arrange
To go on pretending
With each and every breath
Hopeless charade never ending
Escaping only by your death
